If the Earth was moving up at the same rate that wouldn't cause gravity. The only way motion of the Earth would cause a downward force is if it was ACCELERATING up. This is an entry level laws of motion problem.
I can guarantee Vsauce didn't seriously try to defend a flat Earth. I watch his channel.
No he didn't try to defend it, he was trying to do the same thing all quackademics do, placing the geocentric model into the heliocentric model and assuming all his faith based theories of heliocentricity are 100% correct and true even though there is no proof of that while knowing that Math doesn't prove that the theory is correct, just that if the theory is correct - that would be the math instead. He's not actually debunking geocentricity, he is only reinforcing faith in Heliocentricity. If he wanted to actually debunk Geocentricity, he should at least have a basic understanding of Geocentric theories that have not been debunked for millennia. Even the Ancient Egyptians 100% believed in Geocentricity, and we still can't reproduce many of the features they did today and that is over 7000 years old - many believe their culture was much much older and there is tons of evidence that the world as we know it was in much more connected then we think. In fact much of the world has always believed in Geocentricity even though some slaves to the elite did not, Essentially, heliocentricity is just a theory of the elite that has been drilled into the brain of everyone since childhood for only a 100 years. This is why Geocentricity is not a conspiracy, heliocentricity is just a mistake of logic which the elite propagate to the point where even questioning it is grounds for mockery and ridicule. It time to pull back the curtain, and see who the Wizard of Oz really is.
